Herborn – Herborner Martinimarkt with funfair 2027

Herborner Martinimarkt 2027 is expected to be held in Herborn from Friday, 5 November to Monday, 8 November 2027, with a funfair and a traditional market. The date follows the pattern of previous years; there is no official confirmation for 2027 yet. The market itself is likely to run on Sunday and Monday, while the funfair starts on Friday.

Herborner Martinimarkt 2027: market and funfair

This festival in Herborn has two parts: traditional market stalls take centre stage in the town centre, while rides await you at the fairground on Walkmühlenweg. The two attractions have different opening times. So it is worth deciding before you travel whether you mainly want to browse the stalls or go on the rides.

According to the town, the Martinimarkt has been part of Herborn's history since 1465. More than 100 market traders were announced for the 2026 edition. It is not yet known whether the figure will be similar in 2027. The typical offering includes market stalls and food and drink; specific trader lists for the next edition have not yet been published.

Herborner Martinimarkt 2027 opening times

The town has not yet published opening times for the next edition. In 2026, the rides opened at 13 on Friday and Saturday, and at 11 on Sunday and Monday. According to the organisers, they stayed open until at least 21, depending on the weather and visitor numbers. For now, these times from the previous year are for guidance only.

In 2026, the town-centre market started at 10 on Sunday and at 8 on Monday. Do not confuse the market times with the opening times of the rides. The final daily times for 2027 will not be confirmed until a new announcement is made.

Rides and entertainment

For 2026, the town announced, among other things, a Ferris wheel, the Big Ben Tower swing ride, Musik Express, Twister, Crazy Polyp, X Factor and bumper cars. There were also attractions for children. This is a look back at the previous edition, not a line-up of rides for 2027. It is not yet known which showmen and rides will actually return.

Fireworks were also held in 2026. It has not been confirmed whether they will take place again in 2027, or at what time. The event therefore cannot be advertised with a fixed fireworks time.

Admission, family day and prices

There is currently no explicit official confirmation that access to the entire market and funfair site is free. So admission arrangements remain unclear. Individual rides, games and food may still cost extra. In 2026, there was a family day on Monday with reduced ride prices. It has not yet been announced whether this will happen again in 2027.

Getting to Herborn

The funfair is on Walkmühlenweg, while the market stalls are spread throughout the town centre. For the 2026 edition, there were temporary road closures and restrictions to the town bus service. The exact traffic arrangements for 2027 are not yet available. So check the latest information from the town and use the designated parking areas.
